NoIf yes please specify:Assignment description and sample topics: The students will be doing aninformation literacy project where they will be completing a final projectwith the theme being "culture". Right now the students are reading the book"The Harmless People" by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas and the journal article"The Anatomy of Envy" by George M. Foster. For their information literacyproject I would like the students to create a poster representing a specificculture, a specific ritual, or a specific symbol of a culture other thantheir own. In general I want the assignment to be open ended, but it doesneed to follow in the theme of culture. I am in the process of writing theassignment rubric this weekend and can send it to you as soon as it iscompleted on Monday. Please let me know if you have further questions. Iwould also be willing to come in to the library on Monday between the hoursof 12 noon and 2:30 to discuss this plan.Upload class assignment and other relevant documents:What are your learning outcomes for this session?4.
